Matthew and Lionel have just landed back from the MDRT conference in Miami, and … their minds are buzzing.

In this episode they spill the beans on what’s shaking up the financial advice world – including how AI is changing the game.

But they don’t stop there. The boys dive head‑first into Canberra’s latest grab for your super – proposed tax changes that could sting Aussie retirees.

They’re fired up, calling out the pollies and asking the big question: why aren’t we teaching people how to manage money instead of moving the goalposts?

It all wraps up with a bold look at the future of superannuation – trust, education, personal responsibility… and whether the system’s really set up for you to win.

🎧 If you’ve got super, if you care about your financial future, or if you just love hearing two straight‑talkers tell it how it is – this one’s for you.

👉 Hit play and have a listen – you won’t think about your super the same way again.

TPD Claims: When the System Breaks You Twice

How Australia’s safety nets are failing the people who need them most.

In this confronting episode, Matt and Lionel dive into the world of Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) claims—where money meets trauma and red tape can cost lives. From the frontline of financial advice, they unpack the emotional and financial minefield of navigating TPD, workers comp, Centrelink and superannuation.

They reveal how mental health-related TPD claims are on the rise, yet the system meant to protect vulnerable Australians is slow, confusing, and often unfair. Matt shares the real reason he became a TPD expert (spoiler: it wasn’t by choice), and they challenge the industry to step up with better, fairer, more human solutions.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after someone’s life is turned upside down—physically, mentally, and financially—this episode will shake you. It’s not just about payouts. It’s about dignity, documentation, and doing what’s right.

This one’s for the people no one’s listening to. Until now.
